Israel-Hamas war live: Anger grows over Israeli attack on Gaza refugee camp, dozens killed
An Israeli air strike is reported to have killed dozens of people at Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said 50 people were killed and 150 wounded. But a nearby hospital said it received 400 casualties, including 120 dead.
The Israeli military said the strike killed a senior Hamas commander and “underground terror infrastructure” beneath buildings collapsed afterwards.
It added that a “large number of terrorists” from Hamas’s Central Jabalia Battalion who had been with the commander at the time were also killed.
Israeli tanks and troops, meanwhile, continued to advance towards some of northern Gaza’s most populated areas, including Jabalia.
Gaza’s health ministry says more than 8,500 people have been killed in the territory since then, while supplies of food, water, fuel and medicine for its 2.2 million residents are dangerously low because of a siege imposed by Israel.
